Description
The Russian Revolutionary Leon Trotsky‘s very extensive writings on World War I, the vast majority of which have been unavailable in English, contain invaluable lessons for socialists and are also essential reading for those studying the history of the period. The 100th anniversary of the start of a war that Trotsky from the start denounced as imperialist, marks a fitting time to begin the publication of his writings from the period. Nearly all material is from two Parisian Russian emigre newspapers, Golos (The Voice) and Nashe Slovo (Our Word), and from the Kievskaya Mysl’ (Kieven Thought), a mainstream mass circulation paper published in Kiev.
Apart from the first article, The War and the International, all the articles are translated into English for the first time by Pete Dickenson.
